Trial summary

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is frequently used in pneumology for diagnostic procedures like mediastinal biopsies. This procedure is usually done under general anesthesia. Different methods of ventilation are used according to center and physician preferences. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of High Frequency Jet Ventilation and Conventional Positive Pressure Ventilation for Endobronchial Ultrasound Examinations

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is frequently used in pneumology for diagnostic procedures like mediastinal biopsies. This procedure is usually done under general anesthesia. Different methods of ventilation are used according to center and physician preferences. In this retrospective study, complications of 2 types of ventilation will be analyzed:

  • High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV)
  • Conventional intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) Descriptive statistics will be used to present the data. Both ventilation techniques will be compared after propensity score matching. For HFJV patients from 2019 will be analyzed and for IPPV patients from 2023, as the team changed its practice over time.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Severe hypoxia

    defined as an SpO2 (oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry) < 85% for more than 1 min

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Hemodynamic instability

    defined as a systolic arterial blood pressure < 90/60 mm Hg

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. Cardiac arrythmia

    Any cardiac rhythm other than sinus rhythm

    Measured: 24 hours

  5. Laryngospasm

    Any occurence of laryngospasm

    Measured: 24 hours

  6. ICU admission

    Necessity for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU)

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intermittent Positive-Pressure Ventilation and High-Frequency Jet Ventilation, run by Erasme University Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hypoxia (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06537388, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 May 2025.
